It is fact
that the Internet has supposed an important advance on communications. The
majority of the companies have developed an online-shop in order to promote and
sell their goods but, do you really think that these new commercial techniques
encourage consumerism among Internet users?
In my opinion,
the best advantage of buying online is that these kind of businesses are opened
24/7. One can do the shopping being comfortably sat in their favourite armchair
without having to queue neither in the supermarket nor in the mall and, as a
consequence, people save time and take
advantage of their free time. In addition to this, online buyers do not have to
take the car to go shopping and, as a result, an additional saving in petrol is
got. As far as I am concerned, I believe that another advantage is that people
have an enormous amount of shops to choose and compare from, this is very
important because sometimes bargains are waiting for you by clicking your
mouse.
Not only is
buying online good for customers, but also it is dangerous for them. There are
people who have been scammed because they bought in fake websites in which the
only goal was to get their money without sending them the goods they were
supposed to have bought. Other problems can arise because of phishing. On many occasions,
their identities are stolen, and the thieves might get them into troubles with
the authorities.
All in all, I
strongly believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The only thing
is that when people buy online must be sure that the website they are buying
from is sure. This is better said than done, but these days safety is very
important for the majority of companies in order to gain confidence among the
possible customers and make them buy. I am almost sure that in most cases we
can trust them and carry out our shopping without any kind of risk, which is
their main goal.
